Texting Tears
From ‘Albions distant shores’
I heard the howling and growling and laughing;
My extra-sensory circuit received
Signals of the engineering of villains vile.
Texted I frequently –
Both Roman and Brahmi Pegasus
Carried trans-continentally my emotion-freight
Pleading to nip in the bud, the unholy nexus.
Did I text my feelings?
No, know you,
I sat on the bank of the sad Thames
And the ESP couriered me the depletion of
Conspiracy-Ozone layer and the
Concomitant ultra-violet radiation of hatred-mongering
From the polluted banks of Karnaphuli.
And I wrapped in those words,
Secretions from my lachrymal gland -
I texted my tears
Contained in the jar of words
And pressed ‘send’.
